Nervous men wearing frowns. Cars whizzing by—destination unknown. Trains in the stations—bringing people back home The clang of a street car. the noise of a bus,. An a policeman's whistle making a terrible fuss. Pictures, signs, and headlights of cars All brilliantly lighted like so many stars. I hc news of the day being screamed on each street.

The crying call of whip-poor-wills at night— The moist, sweet smelling earth that shrouds The early Spring violets front sight—. The musty scent of ageless books. The clear light of a young girl’s eyes— The glimmering sun fish deep down In a wind-stirred brook. And the shrill, wild song that a lost bird cries. —Anna L. Hastings.
